Yours, mine, ours, and theirs are called as the possessive form. But, in our daily life, usually, we use this form for giving an indication that a noun belongs to something.
For example, Jakarta is one of the metropolitan cities in Indonesia, Mewrise is Mew's blog, the colour of this picture is dominated by red, he is Dora's friend, and so on.
π²: λλΌ μ¨λ λꡬμμ?
(Who is Mr Dora?)
π§: λλΌ μ¨λ μν° μ¨μ λ¨λμμ΄μμ.
(Mr Dora is Wati's younger brother.)
π²: λλΌ μ¨λ μΌμΉ μ¨μ μΉκ΅¬μμ?
(Ms Mew, is Mr Dora your friend?)
π§: λ€, λλΌ μ¨λ μ μΉκ΅¬μμ.
(Yes, Mr Dora is my friend.)
The particle "μ" is used to make a possessive form in Korean. But, sometimes, it can be abandoned. The formula above basically uses the positive sentence in Korean grammar. For example:
λλΌ μ¨(μ) μΉκ΅¬λ μκ΅ μ¬λμ΄μμ.
Mr Dora's friend is British.
κ·Έκ²μ λλΌ μ¨μ νΈλν°μ΄μμ.
That is Mr Dora's cell phone.
μμΉ΄λ₯΄νλ μΈλλ€μμμ λμμμ.
Jakarta is a city of Indonesia == Jakarta is an Indonesia's city.
μ λ λλΌμ λλμμ.
I am Dora's elder sister.
μΉκ΅¬ = friend
μ = my
κ·Έκ² = the thing
νΈλν° = handphone
μμΉ΄λ₯΄ν = Jakarta
μΈλλ€μμ = Indonesia
λμ = city
λλ = elder sister
